    This was such a fun race against amazing competition! Also, Tabor and her husband, Eli, have a TH-cam channel. Here is the link if you want to follow their training and racing: www.youtube.com/@TheHemmingsrun

      I was just at the JFK50 with them! Well not with them. I was like way back there...but still, not sure I could have done a turkey trot that soon after a 50 miler. Finally walk jogged 4 miles this morning...slooowly

      Uh yeah. I was in a 5K race with Allie and I guess I technically "chased her as well". I mean, I did see her flying past me on the return leg as I was still numbering along on the first leg.

  • @randylazer2894
    @randylazer2894 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    First....it seems that Georgie still has his same general lack of enthusiasm for breakfast! Good Lord, never have I seen a dog so absolutely exuberant over food....that is truly a very good thing. The mile pace you are running at elevation is really serious, particularly with turns and ice. If you were at sea level, running 15:47 is pretty spectacular. When you were in the NCAA before the recent leap in shoe technology, 15:47 would likely be within 5 or 10 seconds of a win on the road for the national championship.
    BTW.....your sage advice of running in a race when in front, is exactly what I do when I run into an ex girlfriend.....Look as great as I possibly can!
    I think the key thing in that race was not to fall on that ice. It is usually easy not to fall when you are running at 8 or 9 minute pace on some ice, but when you are pushing it to 5 minute pace that gets dangerous. Really well done, and I know that Georgie truly enjoyed his Thanksgiving dinner!

    • @allie_ostrander
      @allie_ostrander  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Georgie’s enthusiasm for food is unmatched! I actually think his spins have gotten faster lately, which I didn’t think was possible 😂

    Don't forget the caveat of the ice and trying not to slip! Congrats on a great race Allie! Cool to see that Tabor was out there racing too. I've know her and her family for a long time and they're always very gracious and fierce competitors. Those local 5Ks are really good ways to remind your lungs how to accept that burn. :)
    Oh yeah, and Spence really is such a good guy to pace you. I hope by now his hands have warmed up.

    okay i really enjoyed watching this for two reasons: first because it was a new allie video and also because my boyfriend also paced me to a 5k PR at our local turkey trot this year!! yes my time was about twice as long as allie's but it still counts i think, as does your altitude road PR 🥰🥰🥰

Since I run around 21 mins I'm sure you would be long gone by the time I finished away 🤣😂. Great race anyway getting a little payback on that other girl. 👏🏃‍♀🎉🎊🏆🏅 I wonder why the race director didn't do a little road management for the ice, like salt or whatever is used now. Bolder is such a running town! 🏃‍♀🏃‍♀🏃‍♀
